Reason: tree appears to have been dead for some time and is covered by dense ivy, which is also intertwined with the adjacent ash tree (TPO T2). REPLANTING PROPOSAL: either a Tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) or Japanese Pagoda tree (Styphnolobium japonicum). The London Borough of Lewisham (Land opposite the front gardens of 88-96 Perry Vale SE23 2LQ) Tree Preservation Order 2013. Location: land opposite front gardens of 88-96 Perry Vale, corner with Dacres Road. Informative A: the landowner has a duty to plant a replacement tree if a TPO tree is removed, uprooted or destroyed in contravention of the order or because it is dead or presents an immediate risk of serious harm, ref. Tree Preservation Orders and trees in conservation areas, government guidance 6 March 2014, para 79, 80 and 153; Section 206 of Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended). Informative B: replacement tree planting proposal of either Tulip Tree or Japanese Pagoda tree is hugely appreciated for amenity, wildlife, rainwater run-off mitigation and shade to reduce increasingly high and frequent summers due to climate change ? see below for further details. Informative C: newly planted TPO tree and the other 3 TPO trees to have soil amelioration following removal of concrete hardstanding ref. ENF/25/00083: spread mycorrhizal inoculants and biochar or preferably enriched biochar over the RPAs and brush into forked holes or inject into the soil, drench the soil in the RPAs with a compost tea, and spread a 50mm deep mulch over the RPAs clear of the base of tree stems. Informative D: The Bat Conservation Trust advises checking thoroughly for roosting bats before and during tree works with soft fell process followed to proceed with care and with cut timber left grounded over night to allow any bats to make their way out, tree works ideally during Sept/Oct to avoid maternity and hibernation seasons when bats are most vulnerable to disturbance. Informative E: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
